To celebrate the 30th anniversary of Sonic the Hedgehog, Minecraft got the Sonic x Minecraft crossover pack. Although some Sonic fans are inclined to overlook it, there's a lot more to the pack than just a tile set. Those wishing to relive the good old days can find a hidden Chao Garden in the pack.
Most of those who love both Minecraft and Sonic will be drawn to the tileset, character skins, and even Sonic the Hedgehog levels added to the game with Sonic x Minecraft. There's a lot to like about the pack overall, making the Chao Garden the icing on the cake.
That said, we all want to know how to get there. Let's see how to find the Chao Garden in Sonic x Minecraft.
How to get to the Chao Garden in Sonic x Minecraft
Head to the main lab room, where the Chaos Emeralds are kept. This is also the room where the achievement board is located, as well as the high scores for each area.
Look for the board next to the door across from the Achievements board and jump through it like you do with stages, and ironically like you would in Mario 64. This is the hidden path to the Chao Garden, which is a faithful recreation of the iconic neutral garden from Sonic Adventure 2, with the waterfall, the pond and the small cliffs.
There should already be Chao in the Garden, but more will come to live in the Garden as you complete Sonic x Mario stages.
This isn't the first mashup the Minecraft developers have created, with Bedrock Edition having released crossover packs for Fallout, Halo, Skyrim, and other gaming and cultural mashups as DLC in the past. This one, however, is by far the best, being more than just a world to explore and see recreations built within. It includes fully playable levels with actual Sonic mechanics you'd see in the original games, plus those sorts of easter eggs that fans love.
The Sonic x Minecraft Bundle is available for the Bedrock Edition of the game and can be purchased from the Minecraft Marketplace for 1340 Minecoins. $10 can be used to buy 1720 Minecoins, which would be your best deal if you're just looking to explore these recreations of classic Sonic the Hedgehog scenes.
